I will at least make sure the current Qt 4 based GUI still works on the N9 with new modRana version, but other than that it doesn't look very likely I will be able to to work on it much. Also regarding routing, vector drawing is basically completely different with Qt 4 (QPainter only) and Qt 5 (the hardware accelerated & tiled Canvas can be used), so at least for drawing the route there would basically need to be a separate QPainter drawing path only for Qt 4.

On the other hand, if anyone is interested in improving the Qt4 QML GUI, this is definitely welcome! I'm open to any sensible patches/pull requests and will provide assistance in getting started with the code.

Well, that is kinda unfortunate. On the other hand, the N900 Qt 5 port seems to be getting up to steam and looks like there is already a working Qt 5.2 that can be installed on the N900 since yesterday.

So maybe due to the fixes & improvements added since Qt 5.0 it might not be that difficult to make it run also on the N9.
